In-situ and Ex-situ Conservation Methods 4.3 Explain how in situ and ex situ conservation methods are used to maintain biodiversity. Refer to protected areas and/or reserves‚ seed banks‚ botanic gardens‚ zoos‚ sperm banks In Situ Conservation Methods In-situ conservation‚ the conservation of species in their natural habitats‚ is considered the most appropriate way of conserving biodiversity. Conserving the areas where populations of species exist naturally is an underlying condition for the

The Effect of different soil types on plant growth Introduction Australian Gardeners are continually looking for better and cheaper options to improve the growth in their gardens. In Chinchilla‚ it is common to see rich vibrant coloured loam‚ but this is not suited to all plants. Common gardeners will find that it is important to understand what soil type they are on and how the climate conditions that surround the area may affect the growth of the plants they wish to establish‚ which contributes

EXSITU AND INSITU CONSERVATION OF MEDICINAL PLANTS INTRODUCTION India ranks sixth under world’s twelve mega bio-diversity zones. Out of these‚ two ofthem exist in our country. India possesses tremendous ecological bio-diversity. Itcontains 5 % of the world’s bio-diversity on 2 % of the earth’s surface. Thebiodiversity in our country is unique in nature and its in-situ and ex-situ conservationis very well needed. In recent years‚ the global demand of herbs has led to a quantumjump

The roles of Zoos in conservation The main aim of zoos is to protect and conserve global biodiversity and wildlife. To do this they have four roles to play which are; research‚ conservation‚ education and welfare. Research: Research is the careful search or inquiry for new facts by scientific study of a subject‚ through a course of critical investigation. By studying animals we can learn new things about their behaviour and lifestyle. The Secretary of State’s Standards of Modern Zoo Practice

Quantitative Conservation of Momentum Name: ______________________________________ 1. Kim holds a 2.0 kg air rifle loosely and fires a bullet of mass 1.0 g. The muzzle velocity of the bullet is 150 m/s. Find the recoil speed of the gun. Momentum conservation equation: Recoil speed =________________ 2. If the girl in the previous question holds the gun tightly against her body‚ the recoil speed is less. Calculate the new recoil speed for the 48 kg girl. Momentum conservation equation:
